Looks bad, but it's actually fairly easy. I basically just get very nearly parallel to the curb so that both tires are on the "white" part, then barely turn the wheel to guide the rest of the car up. If the driveway isn't wide enough for me to do that, then I don't go in the driveway

The hardest part is not eating the fender with the tire. Sometimes I have to go back and forth a couple times with my head hanging out the window to see if I'll clear the fender with the tire/get the angle right. Oddly enough, when actually driving around I can abuse the car pretty hard for what I'd call "aggressive street driving" and I don't have any problems.

i love your cars ride hight. its low and flat. Any issues with the rear's rubbing on the bumper?
im sure you have your gaurds rolled. i've had my bumper trimmed, car raised and it still rubs on the lower bumper tab over big bumps. i recently destroyed by front lhs fenders due to ridden too low
i reckon it would be funny watching you going up driveways, it would be like doing a 3 point turn..

Tested fitted the wheels off of my prelude. Looking for a lot less aggressive wheels for sure.

Thanks! I occasionally get a little small rub under prolonged suspension load on the rear driver's side. It's barely touching though. Driveways are definitely sometimes like a 3-pt turn. The reason I flared my fronts is because I cheesed them with the 9 +45s

Guys, the cars look great!
